This is one of those movies that people either loved or they hated. Call me biased but, you ever notice how all the bad reviews are written by people who look like they've never spent a day in school?! Personally, I loved this movie! Sure, the storyline (the romance, mainly) could have been less cliched, but the acting fits perfectly with the time. Infact, Rose is even a little too fiesty for the era at times, but James Cameron did a remarkable job! The set was brilliant, nothing short of a masterpiece. I almost cried when I heard they'd torn it down post-production ...what a waste!! Cameron's attention to detail was amazing and he missed nothing. The supporting cast also helped keep the story afloat, and having researched, extensively, the real Titanic and her passengers, I must say that Kathy Bates was THE best pick for Molly Brown! I think the picture more than accurately portrayed the pain and fear that the ill-fated passengers felt. The romance/storyline between Jack and Rose was of course necessary to give the viewer a window into someones life aboard, rather than just random characters, otherwise it would have been a documentary! This movie has been the highest grossing film world-wide of all time, It received 11 academy awards out of 14 nominations and has become one of the biggest cult movies of all time... A piece of fluff woulden't merit those bold honours, now would it? I doubt there are many people that haven't seen this, but if you haven't, see it. Its a classic. The kind of movie your grandchildren will see and know about. |
